Holocaust Memorial Concert - Prines Road Synagogue - Sunday 20th January
Monday, January 7th, 2008
The school choir went to Princes Road Synagogue on Sunday, to watch and perform in a Holocaust Memorial Concert. It was a very moving experience. Candles were lit by concentration camp survivors, in memory of those who died, who do not have families to remember them. The children then sang two songs ‘Esai Ainai’ and ‘We Are The Young’. The remainder of the evening was given to a Polish actor/singer, Yaacov Shapiro who read poems and sang songs of the Polish ghettos. He also told everybody his very tragic life story as a survivor of the Lodz Ghetto.
Our children sang beautifully. Many people came up to the staff of Sudley to congratulate the choirs performance and their excellent behaviour. They were a credit to the school.
